tired of highlighting and copying parts across to make longer passages of repeating patterns on a track?

highlight the part you want to copy - click CTRL + K

then double click the 'number of copies' box, and to create say a noice 16 bar section from a 1 bar loop, type '15' - hey presto!

ghost copies just means they are releated to the original, and thus if you change the original the copies also change.

Hey, quick questions....

What's a good way to record a snare roll with increasing volume and/or volocity? I'm using a Yamaha CS2X midi out and thru returned with VST. Can I do this on my main drum track? Or does it have to be its own track where I edit the volume in the controller editor?

Also why does the midi bank / program change message in the beggining of my drum track sometimes not make the CS2X play that sound? It seems like it works sometimes and other times not. I am playing the song from 1.1.0 so the message is being sent....(and nothing changed on the yamaha)

I know the last question's a little in depth, so email me if you like (or if you have a fat dance/techno or hip-hop track to share).
studioproductions@yahoo.com
Thanks

c, for your first question, you probably
shouldn't use volume if there are other parts
on the same channel. velocity is the way to go
since you can isolate the drum that you are
working with. you can either draw the notes in,
drag them to the end of the part and then ramp
the velocity - or - make another track with just
the drum roll and then place this part on the
same track as the rest of the drums and then
glue them together.

don't really know why that's happening with
your program changes

hey C. do you know how to use drum-maps?... checkout the Cubase page in PCWARE /SWARE - search for 'cubase' or load the selection 'Midi & hard disk' there's an explanation of how to use the drum maps and it's theory in there - drum maps is what you want son !

also - newbies - are you aware you can make your master keyboard keys become the VST transport buttons?.. you can make the top 5 keys you dont play allocated to stop, play, record etc etc then you can drop in when playing and drop out etc anytime without having to go to the pc keyboard at all!.

Hi K
Is all that stuff just for Cubase5 or can i set-up my Phat Boy in 3.7 too?

? Anyone know if i can get the cursor to go to the same place from one arrange window to another?
I usually start a new song at the end of the old,then i make a new arrangement in the Song so i can scroll back to bar one etc.
But i was trying to go from the new arrangement back to the old just to paste new bits in etc,but i,m not sure if i can just go from Bar 1 to say 249 ??
Bit confusing that sorry.

Cheers John.

this stumped me for a while..

drawing controllers directly into the edit mix window.

hold down left-alt and use the pencil tool to draw in the controllers, the resolution is determined by the snap setting at the top (ie 1/16, 1/32, etc)

yeah simple eh? you wouldn't believe how much I struggled to suss that one out.
